"There are two types of fights. Whenever we are in battle, we must be one of the two. The fight for life or…the fight for pride! Right now…He is fighting for his pride! His wife’s pride…his men's pride…Most importantly…his own personal pride. Dismiss this as his stubbornness…and let him fight alone like this…" -Jushiro Ukitake, Bleach-

"It's meaningless to just live, it's meaningless to just fight. I want to win!" -Ichigo Kurosaki, Bleach-

Appearance (A picture can be provided instead of a description if you so wish.): Feren is tall for his age with hair that seems darker than night. His eyes are vast blue oceans that teem with the gleam of the emotion he feels at that moment. He usually wears an old trainer outfit, untouched by civilization for years in a dark covert that had been hidden away in a home. He always looks clean, even though though he tredges through thick mud.

Personality (How does your character act and react to others? Their mental state? Flaws and/or personal weaknesses?): Feren is a very friendly person. He seems to keep his wits, even though it may be a terrifying situation. He loves to be around people, though with the life he lives, they are few and far between. When he's angry, he tends to keep a grudge and wonder away, this makes for most of the trouble he gets into.

History (Where did your character grow up? Who did they grow up with? What have the been doing before this? Any noteworthy events?): Feren grew up in the forest just outside of Eterna, therefore making him a bit of a nature freak. He stayed in a large hut that his parents made before the Beedrill attacked and killed them. From then out, his only company was that of his brother. Before, when his parents were alive, they lived carefree. Now, they stayed close and only ventured out when they needed food. At 10, his fourteen year old brother left for Eterna City, mad that he was not a wielder like Feren. Feren was angry, but went on until he decided to travel to Children's City to live.

Personality (Can be as short or long as you want):Turtwig is a bright little pokemon who cheers you up when you need it. But when in battle, Turtwig fights with powerful passion.

Moves (Maximum of 6. TM and egg moves are allowed. These are the moves your character gets when they fuse):
Leaf Storm
Superpower
Seed Bomb
Swords Dance
Return
Giga Drain

Other (Optional): When Feren and Sevus are fused into one, Feren becomes a brighter person than he was before. When he gets into batte, Feren's and Sevus's brightness turns into a passion that can't be beaten. When they are fused together,Feren takes on what looks like an longer form of Turtwig except that he grows a shell on his stomach and back. When Turtwig talks to Feren, he hears it inside his head, but when in fusion with him, Feren and Sevus 's thoughts are united as one.

Opening Post (This will be what we use to determine whether your writing skills are good enough. If accepted, you may feel free to copy paste your post here into the IC thread.): Feren smiled as Sevus made a funny joke. After all, Feren needed the encouragement. His brother had just left and well, things had become even tougher. Feren felt as though he had lost something as valuable as gold and the void could only be filled by the joy his companion seemed to bring him. Dusk turned to sunset as he started to see the horizon of Children's city. Feren turned his head to see Sevus letting out large yawn. They would have to rest soon. Feren and Sevus made there way into the city, bringing some berries and other foods as tokens for their new neighbors.

Extra:Can Feren have a special ability allowing his Turtwig spirit to walk beside him?

How does your character look 'transformed'? Also, it would be very unusual for someone's pokespirit to be able to leave them, as normally that's not possible due to the fusion being mostly permanent short of death or another pokespirit wielder absorbing it. They are however a second 'voice' in a wielder's head normally. Could you elaborate on what you had in mind?

@tigerkit300: Alright... I guess this is acceptable, though I'm going to have to deny a pokespirit having a physical manifestation separate from their wielder. It's rather against the spirit of the roleplay. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Your character is certainly allowed to fight for the return of pokemon, including his own, of course. It would involve Arceus since Arceus is the only thing with the power to do that and it would also involve the lingering virus that would prevent pokemon from forming bonds with humans.

Appearance: Bay has long black silk like hair worn in a ponytail that goes back down to the mid section of his torso.
Dark Skinned from "wandering the wastes" for a year. He is slim, has brown eyes, and is tall for his age. He wears patched grey
boots that he found while scavenging and managed to repair. He also wears a purple scarf around his neck that was given to him
by Kenny. He somehow managed to maintain hygiene his life. He wears patched up trousers and a strapped pauldron he found in an
abandoned store and wears a black, high collar shirt.

Personality: Bay is very cautious observant and mild from spending a year alone in the wastes excluding his pokespirit. He is also
non-aggressive unless tempted. If he is surprised he can immediately become violent. He is also very protective, loyal, and a
quick thinker. He has instinct made for battle but dislikes risks so rarely does it unless necisary out of fear of losing his
eevee. He is unaccustomed to socializing due to being alone for so long but he retained his sanity. He is very inventive
even repairing R.I.L. (radio Interface layer) he uses for picking up radio signals for news and music. He is became somewhat
flexible to situations

History: Bay wandered the "wastes" of the world for about a year after escaping from Eterna City after recieving his Pokemon
Spirit. He never knew his parents as they were killed by raiders soon after abandoning him and leaving him for dead untill found
by scavengers from Eterna. He was sent part of Eterna's labour since he was a baby. He escaped from Eterna with a Friend named
Kenny but they got split up in the process while on their way to Children's City. Neither of them knew how to get to children's
city so now Bay is lost and wanders the waste in search of either Children's city or his friend. He survived the year by scavaging
from abandoned stores and avoiding conflict.

PokÈspirit Species: Eevee

Nickname: Flow

Personality: Flow is Loyal and Mild like Bay. Flow is well balenced for survival and conflict based on his speed and adaptability.
flow is also calm but quick to anger if anyone threatens his or Bay's safety. Flow also enjoys reading and art so he gets Bay to
carry certain things he finds around such as pictures or books. Bay also is an intellectual.

Opening Post: Bay dragged his feet on through the night as he walked up the hill onto the next abandoned settlement he could find. His feet were sore and he hoped they could've stopped on spot. "I wish we could have stayed there longer" said Bay, eyes looking down while remaining alert. "We were nearly done on supplies" said Flow "and that none of the abandoned houses there were in good condition an-" stopped a moment and perked his ears. At once Bay crouched down and slowed his breathing, he knew the drill. His eyes remained ahead as he pulled a knife out his belt buckle and he crept slowly ahead focusing intently ahead and he noticed a light. Avoiding to not stand up too tall he stood up a little more erect and stopped treading lightly. "What is it" said Bay. "It's some sort of city" said Flow. Bay walked on to figure out whether the city was hostile

Personality:
Ignis is a short tempered individual, with a deep hatred for humanity. His only friends are that of his PokeSpirit and his twin brother Fulgur. He sees little advantage in friendship believing they would only slow him down. He feels no remorse for his actions and cares little for those who oppose him, causing him to be the brother that deals with most threats upfront. He is willing to do anything to ensure the survival of his brother and himself and does not hesitate to kill if that’s what needs to be done. Ignis is seen as the muscle of the group, his intelligence should not be underestimated however.

Although he loves his twin brother, Ignis harbors a deep resentment of his brothers resistance to killing. This leads to Ignis often debating on sticking with his brother, though he always decides to stay, believing his brother would be killed without him.

History:
Ignis grew up with his twin brother in Jubilife City. When they turned 10 they ventured to get their respective PokeSpirits, returning to Jubilife only to find the adults wanted to put them to work. They rebelled and ran away from the city to the Underground society. The duo spent the next couple of years in the Underground mastering their skills. When Lizzy began her rise to power they left not wanting to get tied up in her power struggle. They now wander the area doing whatever is deemed necessary to survive.

Their goal?
After years of hearing stories from their PokeSpirits of how the world once was long ago. Humans and Pokemon flourishing together and happy. As well as the stories of Arceus taking the humans rights to Pokemon away, Ignis developed a deep hatred towards mankind. He vowed to return the world to how it once was even if he had to destroy most of humanity to do so.
Pokéspirit
Species:
Magmar

Nickname (Optional):
Torch

Personality:
Torch shares the groups hatred towards humanity, he is often the extra ‘push’ Ignis needs to do the horrid things that most children would never have to do. He is not evil however, he cares deeply for the group and only wants them to survive, by any means. Torch’s bond with Ignis is so powerful that the two are almost always merged together.

Personality :
Fulgur is a level headed individual, but shares Ignis’ hatred for humanity. He hates to kill even though he knows they need to to survive. With his dislike of killing he often lets his brother deal with that, leaving him to step in only if he is needed. Fulgur is seen as the brains of the group, his strength should not be underestimated however. He spends his time planning out the groups actions and takes pride in himself when the goals are met with little bloodshed.

Fulgur knows his brother loves him, but sometimes he feels as if Ignis could turn on him. This leads to Fulgur always treading lightly around his brother not wanting to provoke conflict between them. He believes that the two of them could not survive without each other.

History:
Fulgur grew up with his twin brother in Jubilife City. When they turned 10 they ventured to get their respective PokeSpirits, returning to Jubilife only to find the adults wanted to put them to work. They rebelled and ran away from the city to the Underground society. The duo spent the next couple of years in the Underground mastering their skills. When Lizzy began her rise to power they left not wanting to get tied up in her power struggle. They now wander the area doing whatever is deemed necessary to survive.

Their goal?
After years of hearing stories from their PokeSpirits of how the world once was long ago. Humans and Pokemon flourishing together and happy. As well as the stories of Arceus taking the humans rights to Pokemon away, Fulgur watched as his brother developed a deep hatred towards mankind. When Ignis vowed to return the world to how it once was even if he had to destroy most of humanity to do so. Fulgur vowed to help his brother but with as little killing as possible. Fulgur developed the same hatred Ignis did but he kept his mind sane not letting revenge cloud his judgments.

Pokéspirit
Species:
Electabuzz

I have a plan in mind for them later down the road that is quiet gruesome and really shows what the world has fallen into (in my interpretation of reading it anyway)
Opening Post:

Spoiler:

Ignis sits perched on a tree branch overlooking route 203. It’s been two days since he last ate and he was well aware that momentarily there will be a caravan passing under him delivering goods to the adults of Jubilife. He begins thinking of the misery he’ll cause the adults be stealing their supplies when the caravan comes into view.

“Alright, show time. We’ll start with a Double Team to throw them off guard.”

Ignis splits himself into four separate forms all still sitting on the branch. Once the caravan is within range the four figures leap from the tree landing in front of the cart, startling the driver. “Hand over the goods and I may let you live to see tomorrow.” Ignis proclaims to the adult in front of him as the three fake figures merge back into him, though he had no intension of letting the man walk away from here.

“That chance,” the man replied surprisingly calm, “get him!” With that a figure emerged from the back of the cart. It was a child, seemingly around his own age. But what’s more is this child had a morphed look. A Spirit Wielder, I hadn’t planned on this but it could be fun I guess, looks like her spirit is a Chikorita judging by her looks.

“This will be easy” Ignis‘s body turns a faint red and he releases a white fire with a red-orange flame spiralling around it at the caravan and the other Spirit Wielder. The girl is surrounded by the flames but jumps up into the air releasing a Razor Leaf attack. “Humph, you couldn’t go down easy huh?” he says as he takes in a deep breath and releases a powerful five-pointed blast of orange fire from his mouth at the girl and the leafs.

The leafs disappear into burnt ash as the Fire Blast smashes into the girl causing her to fall to the ground hard. Ignis then turns his attention back at the man and the caravan, his flames from Overheat just starting to burn out. They served their purpose, keeping the adult put until he disposed of the girl.

“Now where were we?” he asks with a grin appearing on his face. “P-P-Please, d-don’t hurt m-me.” the man begs. “To late, I gave you a chance to run earlier.” Ignis‘s eyes flash light blue. The man then becomes surrounded by a light blue aura and floats towards Ignis “You should have just ran like the coward you are.” when he finished speaking his eyes flashed red and the man was tossed several miles into the air. Where he landed was of no concern to Ignis as he was doubtful the man would survive.

He walked over to the girl from earlier and peered down at her, “Now, it’s your turn.” Ignis said extending his hand out towards the girl. Suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, “Fulgur, get out of the way.” Ignis looks at his brother. “No brother, let this one live, she was unaware of her actions.” Fulgur turns to the girl, “Let this be a lesson to you about working for adults. Next time I may not be near to stop my brother.”

Ignis's body glows white and he disappears. Seconds later, he reappears in a secluded area of a forest. Placing the caravan on the ground he begins rummaging through it for food. He pulls out a loaf of bread and walks over to a large rock and takes a seat. He cuts the loaf in half and tosses one half into the air biting into the remaining portion.

Fulgur appears from thin air catching the other half and taking a bite as he lands. “So, that went well, how much food do we have?” He turned looking at the caravan.

@kezius: This looks nice--There is only one issue. Pokespirits are not allowed to have powers of their own, such as telekinesis. This means that under no condition should anyone but the pokespirit's wielder be able to communicate with them.

I'd also like to take the time to point out that teleport may never be used to gain an advantage in combat, such as using it short range to dodge attacks or close distance. Doing so is automatically godmodding. It can however be used to easily flee from a battle that has turned sour.

I was thinking of it more as what's called 'twin powers' irl. More or less the twins could hear each others thoughts and therefore be able to understand the respective spirit but I don't need them too. In fact thinking now it's better if they can't for what I have planned.

As for the teleport I wasn't planning on using it in battles honestly. Form of travel as used in post

I'll just be using my opening Post as the first, cleaning it up a bit.
Girlfriend's Birthday today and we are celebrating tomorrow with friends so I might not be around until the day after, I'll do what I can 'til then though.

I'm going to be having surgery tomorrow and I probably won't be able to read the RP for myself for a day or two. Good news is I have a friend during this time who will inform me of any new posts. Sorry for the (unlikely) inconvenience

I have to admit, this RP has sparked interest in me, might have to work on a SU for this - apart from the no legends, are there any limitations on quirks or transformations? say if you picked a flying type, could the fused form have wings capable of flight? or a psychic type fused form able to mind read or levitate (like some do)? cause i already have a few ideas depending on which monster i pick, atm its between: Excadrill, Crobat, Dusknoir or maybe one of the fire starters (infernape or charizard) :D

Appearance (A picture can be provided instead of a description if you so wish.):about 5ft 11in tall,dark messy brown hair, black rectangular glasses, pale skin, hazel/green eyes, generally likes to wear his worn black and grey hoodie, and dark blue or black jeans. he wont wear any other type of shoes other than his black hiking boots.he has a generally slight build.

Personality (How does your character act and react to others? Their mental state? Flaws and/or personal weaknesses?):he is generally silent with anyone he doesnt trust. he only trusts one person, lisa ishimura.he generally avoids conflict unless he is protecting his sister.he can hold a strong grudge though, and if he has reason to , he will hunt you down until your dead. many people dont understand him, but he doesnt care.

History (Where did your character grow up? Who did they grow up with? What have the been doing before this? Any noteworthy events?):he grew up in johto, with his sister lisa. life in johto was just as bad if not worse than in sinnoh. ryan being the pessimist he is, didnt think life would be any better. his sisteron the other hand, dreamed of a free land in sinnoh, where regular humans and pokespirits lived together in harmony. she set off for sinnoh, and he had no choice but to follow reluctantly to keep his naive sister safe.

Pokéspirit
Species:Charizard

Nickname:Casper

Personality:enjoys fighting, he doesnt take life seriously. always a jokester, his personality often clashes with ryans often leading to ryan ignoring him. they dont have the best of relationships, but they are loyal to eachother.

Moves:
Detect
blast burn
Brave bird
outrage
earthquake
will-o-wisp

Other (Optional):has the ability blaze. main body color is a flat black, with teal wings like a normal charizard. has a blue tail flame. he is slightly faster and more agile than an average charizard, but cant take as many hits.

Opening Post: I would recommend a minimum of 8 lines and a maximum of 20, but it's your choice."Crap!" ryan yelled, as he flew over the ocean in the direction of sinnoh. he watched in panic as he realized that his sister was no longer riding on his back. ryan was in his morphed form, flat black charizard wings were protruding from his back, keeping him aloft. his black charizard tail was streaming out behind him, his blue tail flame blazing bright in panic. his skin was tinted a dark grey almost black color. he had two spines jutting from his head and red eys. <what now ryan?>(when i use <>that is his pokespirit talking to him telepathically) "What do you think you idiot! lisa isnt riding on my back anymore!", Ryan circled the sky desperately searching for his sister. <i dont see her anywhere, but hey, less cargo huh?> Ryan narrowed his eyes, and said in a low seething voice, "not the time, casper" <ok,ok, i'm out then>. "Casper really gets on my nerve sometimes" he muttered to himself. finally after about an hour of searching he gave up and continued to sinnoh resignedly. after many hours of flying and an near collision with a wingull pokespirit, ryan finally arrived in sinnoh. he rested on the cost for a while the whole time Casper was silent, which was unusual for him. "Casper?" Ryan asked. hmm.. i wonder why Caspper isn't responding. he usually takes any chance he can to talk. Ryan thought to himself. "well, Lisa wanted to head for Jubilife city, so if she made it she will be there" Ryan said for Caspers benefit. Without another word Ryan morphed and and took flight in the direction of Jubilife city. This was something he was going to come to regret in the future.

Personality:shy around strangers, kind of naive, not afraid of hurting people and sometimes gets a nasty mean streak, usually directed towards people hurting her friends, wants only for the world to be peaceful again, and her dream is to return pokemon to the earth, not just pokespirits.

History (Where did your character grow up? Who did they grow up with? What have the been doing before this? Any noteworthy events?): lisa ishimura grew up with her pessimist brother, ryan ishimura, in the johto region where theres no free kids whatsoever and all pokespirits were enslaved to do the dirty work of battling, cleaning, and more. lisa waited until the last day to tell her friends she was leavin, for fear they would try to stop her. they did not stop her, however, but they wished her a good journey and hoped to see her one day on tv. ryan insisted he follow her for protection even though lisa felt she did not need any.

Opening Post:"aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh!" i cried. i had fallen off of ryan's back while he was flying over the ocean! as i fell, i morphed into my espeon form. in form, i have a lavender body and a magenta orb on my head. sploosh! i splashed in the water with a crash. <oh no! what now?> (when i use <>, it means lisa's pokespirit is speaking). "well, it seems i fell off of ryans back while he was flying, obviously. the question is how to get out of this wet situation, because i can't swim!" i struggled to stay afloat when suddenly a blue dot appeared in the distance. <we've reached land!> "uh, i don't think so...." i replied uneasily. <ok, well try to stay alive while we try to figure out what this thing is.> "ok, ok, but i'm getting tired!" i said in frustration. as it got closer, i realized that it was a pokespirit in the form of a lapras. "help!" <help!> we cried together. "hello. you seem to be in distress. please hop on my back." i scrambled onto the lapras pokespirit's back fast to get out of the freezing ocean. "allow me to introduce myself. i am anna pentom, but you can call me laprisa. you are? who are you? i haven't seen you around these parts." laprisa said, navigating towards sinnoh. "well, i am lisa ishimura, and i came from the johto region. if you wish, you can call me espii. my old friends from johto called me that." "wow, what a story!" laprisa commented. "well, we be headed to sandgem town. we're about, say, 20 minutes away." and i listened to laprisa tell stories while we headed towards sandgem town, wherever in sinnoh that happened to be, far away from ryan or not.

@Zagan: I prefer only to make rules against things that will absolutely not happen. The real stickler are going to be the powers, so if you want you can go ahead and run some powers by me to see if they'll fly before you make the SU at all. c:

My comments would be that there are three things that are very unlikely to fly off the top of my head that aren't in the rules. Those things are any sort of battle teleporting (see: teleporting that doesn't cause you to flee the battle), pokespirit independence, and characters that no longer resemble humans.

@Hovde: Hmm... Alright. You've got a great start here. Although your personality field is a bit short your character clearly has flaws appropriate and relevant to the setting and what you /do/ have is good stuff.

However, I may strongly advise that you expand on it a bit more. A well developed character will be funner for you to roleplay in the long run, I believe. As for what to write about, perhaps you could mention how he tends to get his food? Is he a scavenger that happens to be good enough to get what he wants (Even the best scavenger will constantly be in a state of mild starvation at best if they don't have some sort of pokespirit power that helps them scavenge with superhuman efficiency.)? Does he steal from others, crushing the lives of enemies under his boots to make sure he and his sister live? Or worse, has he resorted to cannibalism? You could give a simple answer and then explain why he chooses to do it the way he does. This could also be a part of his history. His history is pretty short, and I believe a good history will once again help you to have fun playing the character long term.

Does he have any major accomplishments? Minor accomplishments even? Any significant fights? How does his day-to-day life tend to go? Does he have a home of some sort or does he wander?

I'd also advise that your character's moveset is extremely offensive, and this is honestly very bad in combat. Like... Lisa's moves are much more balanced, and so she'd honestly do a lot better in any given fight. Detect and Will-O-Wisp are great moves, but I might advise a third support/defensive move of some kind. It could be hone claws, or dragon dance, or belly drum, roost, tailwind, mimic. I personally think mimic is an extremely powerful move to have, due it basically being a customizable moveslot you can change at any given time guilt free. Just any move that will let your character do something other than throw themselves at an enemy and hope the enemy doesn't have a strategy to deal with that.

Of course, if you /intended/ for him to be overly aggressive that's fine. I just don't want you to get in and realize you don't like the moves you picked in hindsight.

@Espeongirl: Greetings! I mostly have the same thing to say about your character's personality and history that I did for Hovde's. What you have is good, but I think you should try and add more substance, as it will make the character funner to roleplay in the long run. Would that be alright with you if I pushed you a bit?

Ok, I got Ya Yellow - I was thinking if I went with Excadrill, I would be wanting my character to be able to move underground like they do on the anime (or how Drill Run is done) so the transformation would look something like http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljszsv8LiW1qgj2rto1_500.jpg (clothes change is optional) but would play up on the underground speed [plus immune to dizzyness from spinning] as well as the defensive aspects of being ground/steel so perhaps harder skin?

Only other two powers i would be thinking of would be flight from a flying type spirit or levitation (not the hidden ability, but just in general the power to float) and being able to read minds if I were a psychic poke spirit weilder

Oh, one question - are the humans able to detain Poke spirits (just the spirits and not the weilders) since I doubt the adults can fuse with them, and I did have an idea for a interesting back story if you would allow humans to hold poke spirits to conduct experiments on

Oh, one question - are the humans able to detain Poke spirits (just the spirits and not the weilders) since I doubt the adults can fuse with them, and I did have an idea for a interesting back story if you would allow humans to hold poke spirits to conduct experiments on

In addition to being able to fuse with your pokemon spirit and take on their powers and some of their features you have the ability to absorb the pokemon spirits of defeated opponents, and if you're more cruelly inclined you can even absorb the life energy of defeated others themselves, in which case they would perish and their physical form be converted into pure energy. In a world without any creatures besides humans and very scarce edible plant life you may find that it doesn't take an evil lunatic to resort to... unorthodox methods of obtaining subsistence. That being said, it may be important that your character know when to run to avoid such a fate.

@Zagan: Pokespirits are intangable. They can't be touched and laugh in the face of physics, passing through all types of matter including solids. This is because they're literally not physically present in the world, but are as the name implied merely spiritual manifestations of a pokemon's soul. So no, a standard human is utterly incapable of so much as tugging at trail left by a pokespirit's escape.

Humans that already wield pokespirits on the other hand are capable of absorbing a pokespirit against it's will. (However, that spirit cannot be released until death, making it a tad permanent.)

I'd like to point out that while only people ages 10-13 can obtain pokespirits, they do not lose their pokespirits upon aging past this. The only reason there are no adult pokespirit wielders (or at least none that people know of) is because of how common death is even among wielders and the fact that pokespirits were only released upon the world relatively recently.
